I'm not quite sure what you mean. I would think if you didn't want to build
a specific structure but just record information then bond cleavage is
exactly what you'd be aiming for; if a bond has been broken then it must
have encountered a photon, if it is still intact then it has not. I couldn't
find much about Gamma Ray Holography but a lot has been done with the X ray
variant and atomic resolutions have been achieved, see below.
[F28.04] X - Ray Holography with Atomic Resolution
Miklós Tegze (Research Institute for Solid State Physics, H-1525 Budapest,
P.O.Box 49, Hungary)
In the conventional diffraction experiments only the intensity of the
scattered radiation is recorded, its phase is lost. In holography [1], the
scattered radiation is mixed with a reference wave and the resulting
interference pattern is recorded. The hologram contains both the intensity
and the phase information and the three dimensional image of the object can
be reconstructed. The most important limitation of this imaging technique is
the spatial resolution, which is given by the wavelength and/or by the
source size. In the last decade the introduction of soft x-ray instead of
visible light tremendously improved the resolution which reached a few
hundred angstrom [2]. An other line in holography, based on the inside
source concept, was suggested recently [3]. We have applied this concept for
the case of fluorescent x-rays emitted by a single crystal. We were the
first to demonstrate theoretically [4] and experimentally [5] the
feasibility of x- ray holography with atomic resolution. We have recorded
the holograms of different crystals and successfully reconstructed the three
dimensional order of the atoms. \bigskip [1] D. Gabor, Nature \bf161, 777
